The Root Method™

A structured, root-cause framework to rebalance your digestion, energy, and hormones.

If you’ve been dealing with ongoing bloating, inconsistent bowel movements, abdominal discomfort, low energy, brain fog, or hormonal symptoms like acne, PMS, or cycle irregularities…
you’ve likely already tried changing your diet, taking supplements, are “doing all the right things,” but still don’t feel like yourself.

That’s because most approaches focus on managing symptoms, rather than understanding why those symptoms are happening in the first place.

Your body isn’t random, and it isn’t working against you.

Your symptoms are signals of deeper imbalances in your gut health, nutrient status, metabolism, and stress response.

The ROOT Method™ is a structured, root-cause approach designed to help you uncover what’s actually driving your symptoms, and give your body the support it needs to heal in a way that’s sustainable and personalized to you.

R — Reveal the Root Cause

We take a deeper look at what’s actually driving your symptoms.

Instead of guessing, we assess digestion, gut health, metabolism, and stress through a combination of functional lab testing, symptom patterns, and health history.

This is where we connect the dots and uncover why you don’t feel like yourself.

O — Optimize Foundations

Before jumping into protocols, we strengthen the basics your body depends on.

This includes nutrition, blood sugar balance, digestion (stomach acid, enzymes, bile), movement, sleep, and nervous system support.

When your foundations are solid, your body can actually respond and heal.

O — Ongoing Personalization

We will create a personalized plan based on your lab results, health history, and goals, then put it into action.

As your body begins to respond, we will continuously adjust your plan—fine-tuning nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle to ensure it’s effective, realistic, and aligned with your needs.

This is where your protocol becomes truly individualized and sustainable.

T — Thrive

This is where you feel the difference: more energy, better digestion, clearer skin, and stable moods.

You understand your body, trust it, and feel confident in how to support your health long-term.

“I came to Shannon with nausea, pain, bloating, libido issues, mood, etc. Working with her has made a huge difference in mitigating these symptoms!  I can’t even tell you the last time I was down hard with unexplained nausea - which used to be a weekly+ occurrence for me. Thank you so so much! Truly changed my life.

Deeper data. Clearer answers. Personalized healing.

Inside The Root Method, you’ll have access to various types of functional lab testing. If you’ve been feeling stuck, functional lab testing can uncover what traditional labs often miss—things like hidden gut imbalances, hormone dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, and detox issues that are silently impacting your energy, digestion, mood, skin, and cycles.

Available labs include:
🧪 GI-MAP (advanced gut health panel)
🧪 DUTCH Hormone Test
🧪 Organic Acids Test (OAT)
🧪 Minerals + Metals Analysis
🧪 And more—based on your symptoms and goals

All tests are done at home and reviewed with you in detail. You’ll get more than just a lab report—you’ll get real insight, interpretation, and guidance tailored to your body and lifestyle.
